Some Examples of our Sheep

The ram on the left is a January, English-type Suffolk ram, that has not seen grain since weaning and has been on pasture until being brought in for this picture.  The ram on the right is a May Ile de France/Dorset cross ram that was born and raised on pasture as a triplet, and has also not seen grain or a barn until being brought in this week.  We strive to find and utilize terminal rams that don't need to have a grain bucket thrown at them, and can still produce productive, muscular lambs.  The lambs at the top are prime example of what our ewes are producing lambing on pasture.  The ewe is a horned Dorset cross 5 year old ewe that saw no ration supplementation other than the pasture she is on.

This picture taken in August is of Fall ewe lambs and fall bred ewes on a harvested rye field overseeded with clover and orchard grass.

Beautiful animals! I would like to visit your farm someday. Is there any chance you will post a summary of your speech at the Sheep and Goat Symposium at Cornell. I couldn't make and your topic was interesting to me. Thanks.

Thank you! Unfortunately Matt's presentation at Cornell is too big to post to Local Harvest. I do know that they had printed copies of the presentation available at the Symposium and may still have some available.
